MST3K Expierment #512: Mitchell (1975)


Oh, Joe Don Baker, what were you thinking making this horrible, horrible film. Mitchell is about a blundering drunken detective working a murder case that turns into a drug smuggling case. There really isn't much to talk about in this movie, so im just gonna cut to the good stuff, the Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffing. This has always been one of my favorite episodes and everytime i turn it on, it gets funnier and funnier. They tear this movie apart, Mitchell is a just an idiot and some of the riffs they throw out make it a viewable film. From when John Saxon's character, yes you heard me right, John Saxon is also in this movie; offers Mitchell a drink and says "How do you like your Scotch?" Crow throws out a "By the Quart" that part gets me everytime. The scene where Mitchell argues with the little kid is priceless and some of the worst dialog ive heard in a film in a long time. This movie also consists of a classic Boom Mic in shot scene. But this episode of MST3K is also a monumental episode for MST3K as this marks the last episode of Joel Hodgson as the host. The mads decide to kill Joel but with the help of the new intern Mike Nelson and Gypsy. They find the escape pod and he escapes back to earth safely. Overall, if you are a fan of MST3K, i highly recommend viewing this episode as you will laugh your ass off.

I give this movie, 2 Mitchell thumbs up
